Every year the State of Maryland produces some serious athletes. This year's class is highlighted by one of the top offensive line prospects in the country Damian Prince. He is followed by a couple of hotshot corners in Marcus Allen and Troy Vincent, Jr. It also looks like Good Counsel is loaded again this year meaning they should make another run at the WCAC Championship. The Maryland state rankings will be updated two more times before signing day 2014.
